Task 4: Configure ASAP Components
Task 4: Configure ASAP Components
To customize the ASAP configuration on your nodes, use this information about
component configuration:
•
ASAP configuration file
•
ASAP object files
•
ASAP database
Confirm ASAP Configuration Settings
ASAPCONF, the ASAP configuration file, sets up configuration information specific to
your and users’ sites. When the ASAP Conversational Interface (CI) starts, it searches
for an ASAPCONF file and implements its instructions.
Any system with an active ASAP database should have a properly configured
ASAPCONF file in the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM location, in addition to any user
configuration files located on other subvolumes. When the CI cannot locate the
ASAPCONF file, ASAP uses the default values you define with the SET command (see
SET Command on page 6-87).
ASAP searches the current default subvolume, then $SYSTEM.SYSTEM for the
configuration file. If ASAP does not find the ASAPCONF file, the four most important
values to specify from the ASAP CI and to use when creating the ASAPCONF file are:
•
The SET DB command for defining a location for ASAP database files
•
The VOLUME command for defining the location of the ASAP object file locations
•
The SET RATE command for defining the availability sample rate interval
•
The SET RETAIN command for defining the database maintenance option
This example creates a new configuration file named
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF. If you used the ASPSETUP Full Install on this node,
the ASAPCONF can be found on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.
1 >COMMENT Create and setup the ASAPCONF file.
2 >EDIT $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF; ADD
CURRENT FILE IS $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF
1 SET DB $DATA.ASAPDB.DB !Set database name
2 VOLUME $DATA.ASAPDB !Set ASAP subvolume
3 SET RATE 5 !Set sample interval
4 SET RETAIN NONE !Set cleanup option
3 >FUP SECURE $SYSTEM>SYSTEM.ASAPCONF, “Nxxx“
After confirming the settings in the ASAPCONF file, you can run ASAP on your system.
